Abstract/Summary:

There has been significant solar development in the “Fescue Belt” region, which spans from Virginia to eastern Kansas and from Ohio to the northern regions of Georgia. In this region, tall fescue is the dominant forage. As a result, many solar arrays in the Fescue Belt have tall fescue present on site. In this fact sheet, we provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities fescue presents for solar grazing operations and how its presence may impact sheep grazing.
